“The secret of high finance...if you really need a loan, you won't qualify. And if you don't need a loan, all the lenders will line up to give you money.”

“Книги – это не святые реликвии. Слова могут быть моей религией, но, когда дело доходит до богослужения, я предпочитаю церковь самую низкую. Храмы и кумиры мне не интересны. Суеверное идолопоклонство, присущее буржуазной одержимости книгами, досаждает мне до чрезвычайности. Подумайте, сколько детей забросило чтение лишь потому, что какой-то ханжа выбранил их за слишком небрежно перевернутую страницу. Мир полон людей, любящих повторять, что к книгам «следует относиться с уважением». Но говорил ли нам кто-нибудь, что с уважением следует относиться к словам? Нас с ранних лет учат почитать лишь внешнее и видимое... Книга – это всего лишь продукт технологии. Если людям нравится собирать их и платить за ту или иную немалые деньги – тем лучше. Пусть они только не притворяются, что это призвание более высокое и разумное, чем коллекционирование табакерок или картинок из упаковок жевательной резинки.”

“That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.”

“And – I think you know, don’t you? – that I love you, Anne.’
I feel as if I have been living in a loveless world for too long. The last tender face I saw was my father’s when he sailed for England. ‘You do? Truly?’
‘I do.’ He rises to his feet and pulls me up to stand beside him. My chin comes to his shoulder, we are both dainty, long-limbed, coltish: well-matched. I turn my face into his jacket. ‘Will you marry me?’ he whispers.
‘Yes,’ I say.”
― The Kingmaker's Daughter
